PREMIER GUITAR REVIEW – AUGUST 2020 | Gold/Blue F & T’s | CGS resistors | Effects Loop| Line Out | Made in London, England 

The Custom SD amp was created in response to the high demand for a lower-powered VR504 amplifier with added features for the modern player: EFFECTS LOOP and LINE OUTPUT. The Custom SD amp produces even harmonics but with more attack and clarity. It is hand-wired in our Custom Shop, point-to-point with meticulous original wiring. This 20W Head is made in England with the best available components for those guitar players who are looking for a classic British sounding amp based on the early 70’s models.

Hylight Electronics made high quality amps during the 60's, along with other well known manufacturers of the period, that were largely responsible for shaping the sound of British rock during the 60's, 70's and beyond. Bands such as Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones, and The Who have all used Hylight made amps to help create their legendary sounds. With their military-spec chassis, point-to-point wiring, and marine-grade cabinets, Hylight amps are also known for being very solidly built.

DESCRIPTION

The Hylight VR204 model is based on the VR504 amplifier configuration. This amp is powered by 2xEL84 in the power stage, with 3xECC83 in the pre-amp, giving a classic Floyd sound. Fitted in a Bulldog shaped 1 x 12 size. Now you can rock out with a delicate sound of thunder.  This model truly shines like a diamond! The amp features 4 inputs, normal, brilliant with high and low impedances. The 2 channels can be cross-patched which allows users to blend the tone of the normal and brilliant channels. Add your favourite pedals to create your own personalised sound.

The Hylight VR204 is available as a Head, which can be paired with a VE112F/C cabinet; also available as a 1x12 Combo (VR204C-112F/C) and a 2x12 Combo (VR204C-212F/C). It is perfect for home, studio and live use and is still incredibly good looking. There is simply no better sounding, looking or engineered small head/combo amplifier in the world! This amplifier will last a lifetime!
